Yamaha 350 HP

A stunning display of marine outboard dominance has unfolded with Yamaha’s new F350 V8 outboard now officially launched in Australia. The new Yamaha F350 delivers unprecedented power to weight performance from the world’s first V8 production outboard engine.

The new Yamaha F350 is the first four stroke outboard motor to utilise a V8 powerhead. With a displacement of 5,330 cm3, the 32 Valve DOHC V8 engine delivers a maximum power output of 257.4 kW (350 hp) at the prop shaft, which is the highest horsepower rating for an outboard motor in the world today.

“We knew Australian boaters would really appreciate the power and performance of our new V8 outboard,” said Brett Hampson, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Marine Products at Yamaha Motor Australia.

“This new model is a huge boost for the Australian market and now boat manufacturers and boaters alike have a realistic power alternative to the traditional sterndrive system. This is great news for boaters who demand both outboard power and a big offshore hull.”

The massive power and torque of the F350 ensures a big boost in speed, acceleration and performance. Larger multi-hull boats will appreciate the torque advantage of a V8 engine when moving several tonnes of hull onto the plane with a 45% increase in thrust than a conventional 250hp 4-stroke outboard.

Variable Camshaft Timing is again utilised to give the F350 more torque at low and mid-range rpm. Also increasing power, the In-Bank Dual Exhaust with Power Surge Chambers is used to relieve pressure in the exhaust ports. A larger gear shaft is also adopted for greatly increased strength plus an automatic rpm synchronization function can be employed for multi-engine use (up to 3 engines).
